Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Ye Chen realized that Ding Huan was working for the foreign Tatars and became furious.

However, there is no conclusive evidence at this moment, so it is difficult to convict.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and a sneer appeared on his face.

He looked directly at Ding Huan and said word by word, "Ding Huan, now that you're here, don't leave."

After saying that, Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Come here, take Ding Huan and his men to the imperial prison without exception."

"Remember to cover the prison van with thick cloth. After all, this is the former Bingzhou governor. It would be bad if others knew about it!"

The imperial guards responded in unison, their weapons flashing coldly in the sunlight.

They rushed forward like wolves and tigers and tied Ding Huan up first.

At this moment, Ding Huan's eyes were red, like a mad beast, and he cursed at Ye Chen: "How dare you do this to me? Just wait! My son is the governor of Bingzhou. He will definitely come to rescue me. He will not let you go!"

However, as soon as Ding Huan finished speaking, a guard quickly stepped forward and roughly stuffed a piece of linen into Ding Huan's mouth.

Ding Huan's curse was suddenly blocked in his throat, and he could only make a muffled "wuwu" sound.

Afterwards, under the powerful drag of the imperial guards, Ding Huan and his men were dragged away like a group of lambs to be slaughtered, without any resistance.

After seeing Ding Huan and others being dragged away roughly, Shen Qiu walked to Ye Chen with a serious face and reminded him worriedly.

"Your Majesty, Ding Wen will not let this go."

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He simply pointed firmly at the bamboo slips and said in a steady voice, "Qiu'er, Ding Wen first colluded with the Tatars, and now he has collected so much information about the capital."

"This is clearly an attempt to collude with the Tatars to attack the capital."

"This man, or the entire Ding family, is probably already a dog of the Tatars."

"So even if I don't touch Ding Huan, Ding Wen will still fight me to the death. If that's the case, why should I care about his feelings?"

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

There was also a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Ye Chen, so she said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if the Ding family really became dogs of the Tatars, then do I need to interrogate Ding Huan? This man probably knows more about the Tatars' situation than the soldiers on the border!"

"You can interrogate him, but don't torture him. Don't kill him. After the Ding family collapses, I will come and settle the accounts thoroughly."

"promise!"

"Okay, it's time for me to return to the palace."

The matter has been handled

Ye Chen was planning to return to the palace.

He got up and left the inn, then got on the carriage outside.

Not long after he sat down, the figures of Tong Le and Mo Rou suddenly appeared in his mind.

I remember that these two people have been running a restaurant outside the palace for several days, and I don’t know if it is going well now.

A trace of worry welled up in Ye Chen's heart, so he decided to go and take a look.

Then, he said to Shen Qiu who came up next, "Don't rush back to the palace. I want to go see Tong Le and Mo Rou."

"promise!"

The carriage turned and headed towards Tong's Fish Shop.

But the carriage was forced to stop before it reached Tong's Fish Shop.

Because of traffic jam.

Ye Chen looked out the car window and saw that the road was crowded with people. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

I asked someone around and found out that everyone was queuing.

These people all come to eat.

Ye Chen didn't expect Tong Le's business to be so good.

I asked someone in detail again.

I just found out that Tong Le’s shop opens once a day at noon, and there are only a few dozen dishes, and once they are sold out, they are gone.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Qiu saw the crowded crowd ahead. After thinking for a moment, he suggested to Ye Chen, "Your Majesty, I can ask the imperial guards to cut in line and inform Miss Tong Le that you are here."

Ye Chen slowly shook his head and said, "No need. Since Tong Le and Mo Rou are still busy with business, I won't disturb them for now."

Then, Ye Chen ordered: "Shen Qiu, go get the food for those tenants. I want to see what they usually eat."

"promise."

After Shen Qiu received the order, he quickly found the tenants' food and presented it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen saw that the bowl containing the food was filled with shriveled millet grains. Upon closer inspection, he found that there were also many small stones mixed in.

Some other vegetables were also withered, yellow, and shriveled, lifeless, and it was obvious that they were of extremely poor quality.

Ye Chen looked at the food with a frown and a gloomy expression.

He picked up some millet and put it in his mouth, chewing it with difficulty. He felt that the texture was rough, the taste was bitter, and it was difficult to swallow.

What pigs eat in later generations is thousands of times better than this!

Ye Chen was angry, but then the anger turned into a sigh.

These are the poor people in the capital, and the poor people in other places are even worse off.

The rise and fall of dynasties bring suffering to the people.

This is no joke.

Ye Chen felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.
